Beall's 2014 election loss came after being placed into a newly redrawn state senate district centered on his home town of Fort Dodge after the 2012 LSA legislative redistricting. [5] [6] The redistricting rules effectively removed his previous Senate 25 district's voting majority Democratic constituency in eastern Webster and all of Greene county. [7] They were replaced with the larger Republican-majority counties of Pocahantas and Humboldt north of Fort Dodge,and Webster County to population balance the new Senate District 5,in which he had to run his re-election campaign.
